The Board normally treats taking one pill the same as one thousand pills. Dishonestly is at the core of addiction. Stay on the straight and narrow. If you want the privilege of being a nurse do the dance. You got this.

Hi! Have you had your hearing yet? I would think if you explained the circumstances, they will let you continue with the HPMP program and work towards being able to practice again.
